My Mama

...my mama taught me many things
like how to bake and how to sing...
...like how to make the best of
a situation turned dark and gloomy...
...how to plant seeds and bulbs
have a spring garden colorful and bloomy...
...my mama gave me grammy,
aunts, uncles, cousins, and siblings...
...once we gave our mama jewelry
with eight birthstones on a mother's ring...
...today we had a flower planting and tea party,
we're working on friendship (however tardy)...
...my mama taught me many things
like how to volunteer and wear some bling...
